Our Wedding

We both moved from New Jersey to Florida within just a few weeks of each other—starting fresh, and soaking in the sunshine. But what we didn’t know then was that our paths had probably already crossed. We both spent so much time in Asbury Park—weekends at the boardwalk, concerts at the Stone Pony, late-night bites at MOGO—we were likely in the same place at the same time more than once, without even realizing it. Then came Tinder. A swipe, a spark, and hours of conversation later, we had our first date over tacos and tequila…and the rest is history. From sunsets at Pass-A-Grille and Jannus Live shows, to inside jokes and late night chats, our story has been full of love, laughter, and a few meant-to-be moments. We can’t wait to celebrate the next chapter with all of you by our side!

Turns out, a right swipe really can change your life

Our Story

Photos

Sisters by birth, roommates by force, best friends by surprise. From stealing each other’s clothes to surviving family road trips and arguing over literally nothing (and everything), Kristen and Toni have been through it all. Kristen has always been Toni's confidant, fiercest protector, and occasional fashion critic and chauffer. As Maid of Honor, she’s bringing the same energy she’s had since day one—plus a microphone and probably a few embarrassing stories.

As Greg’s older brother, Ray has had a front-row seat to Greg’s life for as long as anyone can remember—which means he has plenty of embarrassing childhood stories ready for his Best Man speech. Growing up, he perfected the role of big brother: part partner in crime, and part professional Greg-teaser.  We’re thrilled to have him as Best Man and slightly nervous about what he might say when he gets the microphone. 😅🍻

Stef met Krissy, as she fondly calls Kristen, when they were just 12 years old at church. Stef and Krissy have been through countless seasons of life together; Passion Play, youth group and performing in countless musicals and plays together in high school, just to name a few! 
From meeting as children to Stef now having children of her own, Aunt Krissy and Stef just grow closer together as the years fly by!

Chris, our co-best man, has been truly that, a co-conspirator to all of Greg's craziest moments. Its hard to find a crazy story of Greg's that Chris wasn't a major player in! All that to say, Chris has been by Greg's side through all the ups and downs are we're so honored to have him by Greg's side our wedding day!

Kasey and Kristen always got along as cousins, but the first time rooming together on a family cruise is when they famously coined their nickname, 'Team Krasey'. From sun up to sun down, they were out partying the whole family, even the seasoned cruise vets! These two can dance all night and have heart-to-hearts about life all day. Their love of good times and positive vibes makes Team Krasey a good time wherever they go!

Jeff is one of Greg’s longtime friends and the kind of guy who always brings the energy wherever he goes. As the story goes, Jeff made his way here all the way from Cuba… allegedly floating in on a tire like some kind of legend straight out of a movie. Whether that story is true or not, one thing we do know is that Jeff has been bringing great stories, big laughs, and a lot of personality to the group ever since. We’re excited to have him standing with Greg on the big day—and we’re all hoping he leaves the tire at home for the ceremony.

Kristen met Kayla back in 2011 at Penn State Mont Alto, where they lived in the same building and were both on the cheer team! From floor meetings to cheer practice, their friendship started early and only grew stronger over time. 
Fast forward over a decade, and life has brought them full circle: now they live just down the street from each other in Florida. What started as a dorm hallway connection has turned into a lifelong friendship.

att and Greg moved down to St. Pete together with a very clear plan: embrace the full bachelor lifestyle in their new apartment. That plan lasted about a month. Somehow, within weeks of moving in, both of them met their future wives and the bachelor era ended almost as quickly as it began. While their grand plan didn’t exactly pan out, Matt has been a great friend to Greg through it all, and we’re so happy to have him standing by Greg’s side on the big day.

A tale as old as time, two young 20-somethings take a job serving popeye skillets and Charlie chai shakes and bond through not flaking on plans. Over a decade later, Jasmyn and Kristen have worked at 4 different companies together, bridesmaids in each other's  weddings, and talk to each other more now with 1300 miles between them than ever! Fun fact, Jasmyn and Kristen shockingly weren't allowed to pick sections next to each other at Turning Point because they would talk too much!

Eric and Greg’s friendship can largely be measured by how many concerts they’ve attended together. Every year, the moment the Stone Pony Summer Stage schedule dropped, the two of them would immediately start mapping out their summer plans—figuring out how many shows they could realistically attend (and usually deciding the answer was “as many as possible”). Between the music, the memories, and probably a few late nights along the way, Eric has been one of Greg’s go-to concert buddies for years, and we’re excited to have him rocking out as one of Greg’s groomsmen on the big day.
